民主党候选人Christian Menefee和Amanda Edwards在德克萨斯州第十八届国会区特别选举中升入决赛, Democratic candidates Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards advanced to a runoff in Texas’s 18th Congressional District special election, following a crowded primary with 16 candidates. 这两张选票都没有获得50%以上的选票,需要径流填补Sylvester Turner共和国去世后3月空缺的席位,他只服务了两个月。 Neither secured over 50% of the vote, requiring a runoff to fill the seat left vacant in March after the death of Rep. Sylvester Turner, who served just two months. 获奖者将在一个包含休斯顿部分地区的极具民主色彩的区里完成特纳任期的剩余部分。 The winner will serve the remainder of Turner’s term in a deeply Democratic district encompassing parts of Houston. 预计明年初的径流可能会影响美国众议院中有限的共和党多数。 The runoff, expected early next year, could affect the narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House. 州长格雷格·阿博特(Greg Abbott)以筹备需求为由将选举推迟至11月, Governor Greg Abbott delayed the election until November, citing preparation needs, a move criticized by Democrats as politically motivated. 该选区将根据受特朗普总统推动提高共和党代表性的影响的新地图重新绘制。 The district is set to be redrawn under a new map influenced by President Trump’s push to boost Republican representation.
